Fork
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
In this task, the goal is to spawn a new process which can run simultaneously with, and independently of, the original parent process.
C
#include<stdio.h> #include<unistd.h> int main(void) { pid_t pid; if((pid=fork())==0) { printf("This is new process\n"); } else if(pid>0) { printf("This is the original process\n"); } else { printf("ERROR: Something went wrong\n"); } return 0; }
Erlang
-module(fork). -export([start/0]). start() -> spawn(fun child/0), io:format("This is the original process~n"). child() -> io:format("This is the new process~n").
Then you can compile your code and execute it:
c(fork). fork:start().
Perl
In the child code, you may have to re-open database handles and such.
FORK: if ($pid = fork()) { # parent code } elsif (defined($pid)) { setsid; # tells apache to let go of this process and let it run solo # disconnect ourselves from input, output, and errors close(STDOUT); close(STDIN); close(STDERR); # re-open to /dev/null to prevent irrelevant warn messages. open(STDOUT, '>/dev/null'); open(STDIN, '>/dev/null'); open(STDERR, '>>/home/virtual/logs/err.log'); # child code exit; # important to exit } elsif($! =~ /emporar/){ warn '[' . localtime() . "] Failed to Fork - Will try again in 10 seconds.\n"; sleep(10); goto FORK; } else { warn '[' . localtime() . "] Unable to fork - $!"; exit(0); }
Obviously you could do a Fork in a lot less lines, but this code covers all the bases

lvars ress; if sys_fork(false) ->> ress then ;;; parent printf(ress, 'Child pid = %p\n'); else printf('In child\n'); endif;
Python
import os pid = os.fork() if pid > 0: # parent code else: # child code
